Rotorstock 8 20th August 2011

[Jono FD3]

I have got a quick question regarding RS8.....
At the moment it looks like I won\'t be making it in the FD this year, as the engine that defies all rotary laws (running on 4.3bar comperession @ RS3 and still going 4 years later LOL!) Well, finaly she has thrown in the towel as it looks like the seals have let go  I might nurse the car and see if I can get one more season out of it.... but if this is not possible I might bring along the drift truck for a laugh, and have a go on the drift and sprint track.....

But here is the thing, what are the rules and regs on the vehicles using the 2 tracks, do they need MOT, TAX & insurance?? the reason I ask is because the truck has non of them and never will! LOL so would I still be able to use it on the tracks or would I be frog marched off the pod site if I atempt to run it??

Cheers
Jono

with regard to the handling curcuit, can you make sure there is no reverse park bit. i went to the bmw show this year and they ended the curcuit with a reverse into a bay. too much chance of killing a gearbox (ive done it before)
im really looking forward to going this year now there is something i can do, ie the handling curcuit. it was wicked last year :3gears-rh

Should be forwards only :-)

Rotorstok is the only rotary specific event where we can all be together, sharing the same passion, we should all be fully supporting it. Personally im mega chuffed theres an R8 and i hope there will be many many more.
 To the question of should it be held over two days i suppose it doesnt give people who may work (or whatever on the sat) an opportunity,but hey its on once a year can you not plan ahead ! Also the one day for me means im not wondering what day to choose or may miss anyone.For those travelling from europe may be a sun meet would give them travelling time on the sat but then its getting home aswell  :3Confused  
 
:Thumbsup!

Thanks for the positive post:Thumbs-up

We have tried it before over two days, but it just does not really work. We would rather have a full Rotary stand for one day only rather than having half empty stand on both days.

Hope you are coming along to RS8!

Hey guys,

I\'d like to visit Rotorstock from Germany and I\'d like to fly to GB.

Now my question. What is the next airport to Santa Pod and maybe a good hotel not far away ?

Thanks

Luton or East Midlands.  If you find yourself flying to Stansted drop me a PM and I can probably help with getting you to Santa Pod!

I would definately prefer a 2 day event as treking frm S Wales for a day (even though it sounds great) is a bit of a pain.  Having recently sold and left the MX5 OC for something with a little bit more omph :Gigglethe best part of the club was the social side on a 2 (3) dayer.  Wandering around the campsite on the night between with a (several) bottle(s) of wine/beer and chatting to other owners about upgrades etc :guinness

received my tickets this week. will we need stand passes, or will these tickets get us access to the stand?

[Lisa]

No stand passes are required.

Just park on the Rotary stand.
